Watanabe gathered up Mizuo's battered and bloodstained body, was forced to cooperate with the ensuing blood transfusion, and for his trouble was late for his part-time job, resulting in his termination. The mysterious Mizuo tells the now-unemployed Watanabe that he is a vampire, and offers Watanabe a position at his salon. Despite his feeling that Mizuo is a potentially dangerous partner, for some reason Watanabe cannot bear to be away from him...

The story concept is sooooo STRONG, but it ends up never really being told effectively...or really at all. It's like Shimada sensei never really made an outline for her story, and her editor was ineffective. If told properly, this could have covered multiple volumes successfully. Sad.

I found this manga's plot confusing. Even having just finished it, I sat back and thought: "...wait, what?" I also didn't particularly enjoy it while reading it, so I know I'll never end up going back for a nostalgic read-through. I'm not going to rate this because it didn't stir up any feelings of love or hate, just a general apathy.

This one is a good starter yaoi, if you can get past the choppy plot. There's not a lot of visible action, and half the time you can't even tell what's what in a panel (in fact, it's only rated 16+). It took me forever to figure out who the seme was, even with the little "top!" comment from the author in the sidelines.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)

I really like the idea of an uke vampire, but it just doesn't go anywhere. Mizuo takes the lead while Watanabe acts like a kid who doesn't know what he's doing, despite being a seme.

Just as you get to know the vampire and his employee, their story is finished and the story of Kureha's sword picks up. The book is split into oneshots, so even though Mizuo connects the first three chapters, the theme of "vampire" just seems tacked on.

As others have said, the whole thing was pretty rushed. It also felt incomplete to me, but maybe it was because I spaced out and missed something because it just wasn't holding my interest so well. The oneshots were really bad.

I also bought this looking for a good vampire yaoi, but ehh. I wouldn't classify it as that. There's vampires, and I guess you could say there's yaoi, but it all feels rather lukewarm.

I bought this one because I'm a vampire fan and I love BL manga. It wasn't bad. The vampire running the hair salon was a bit different, but other than that it was typical. There isn't a lot of character development, and I agree with the previous poster who said the whole thing was rushed. And yes, this one seemed heavily censored. June is notorious for this, especially recently. They have been releasing a lot of 16+ rated BL lately - most likely so they can sell more. It's disappointing, because I like the graphic ones. This one could have been redeemed by being longer and having more of a plot and characterization. If you're looking for a light, quick read, this one is ok.

This is the first manga I have ever bought. I was really excited to read it (having a bad habit of equating BL manga vampires with a cross between Ann Rice's and Sadahiro Mika's vampires)... but was a more than a little disappointed with the book. The introduction was quite hurried, and the romance was greatly unconvincing. The story had lots of potential, but everything was just so condensed! There was no opportunity to empathise with the characters and the story itself was quite boring, in my opinion. The side stories weren't much better either. And not to mention the heavy-handed censoring that was at times totally uncalled for- either that or the mangaka is very very shy... hmm. Next time I'll be sure to read before I buy!
